Reasons to work with a male therapist
Some people strongly prefer to work with a male therapist. It’s a personal choice, of course, so here are several reasons to consider working with a therapist who is a male. As an Oakland therapist, I have seen all of these reasons show up at one time or another in therapy.
A male therapist may be more likely to understand where you’re coming from.
You can have a healing experience with a male.
Learn to relate healthier to men, beginning with a male therapist.
You might feel more comfortable talking about some topics with a man.
Things might get stirred up with a male therapist that wouldn’t with another therapist.
Learn to talk about your emotions with another man.
If you endured past abuse from a female, it may feel better starting therapy with a man.
Benefits of sending your teen to a male therapist
Teen boys in particular often do well working with a man. Here are some reasons to consider hiring a male therapist to help your teenage child.
Your teen boy might be more likely to speak about some topics with a man.
Help your teen have a role model experience with a male.
Give your teen an example of what a healthy male is like.
If your teen endured past abuse from a female.
As an Oakland therapist, I focus on helping teens reach their goals and develop into thriving young adults.
What I bring as a male therapist
My proficiency as a therapist, first and foremost.
My years of experience doing therapy with men, women, and teens.
My knowledge and experience helping other men and teenage boys learn to have healthier relationships.
My understanding of how common abuse and trauma are with women and men.
Whatever you’re struggling with, you deserve support. I help anxious adults and teens live courageously in the face of anxiety, and I help men learn how to have better relationships.
I offer a free 20-minute consultation to hear your story, share more about how I work, and see if we’re a good fit.
